Isn't it much more likely that he would be presented at the end of the training session though?

 

So he misses out on the training session? Weird.

 

 

Yeah, but is this a real training session or just a bit of fun with the fans to be topped of with the intro of Colo?

 

 

 

When will you guys understand that they are waiting for this thread to reach 150 pages before they confirm the signing?

 

I agree.

 

By the way how do you think your team will do this year with Megson?

 

Bolton is not my team, my name is actually Johan and my avatar has more to do with the fact that I am from Sweden than me being a Bolton supporter. But to answer your question anyway, Johan Elmander is a good player playing as a lone striker or behind one. If he gets on a run he can score quite a few. Bit prone to injury and it will be interesting to see how he does in the EPL. Dont know anything about the rest of Bolton, they will be boring but still manage to stay up I guess?

I was only messing with you. Cheers for the info though.

Yep just need the sun or tribalfootball to confirm then Tiago is going straight on the back of my shirt.

Lets not get too excited now!

I would wait till Oliver confirms it before printing his name on your shirt.

Aston Villa will be after Zigic I reckon.

I don't think this will happen.

 

Stop thinking then.

OMG it must be true!

Not yet, but it is becoming truer and truer.

I don't think this will happen.

Stop thinking then.

maybe he's gonna play in this behind doors game this afternoon

Tomorrow afternoon. Besides owen is playing in that too.

I must admit I don't know a massive amount about Tiago. Can someone give an unbiased opinion of him? What kind of player is he?

If he signs, he's best Midfielder I've ever seen,  far better than Zidane

 

Are you on drugs??? Better than Zidane???

 

Mohammed Zidan is what he meant. Calm down.

No I didn't. 

Ssshhhhh ... don't ruin it.

Patience is a virtue friends.

Besides ... Colccini is at WHL, so it's Luisao who will be making an appearance a nyway.

why is colo not training he needs fitness

He is,  he's at Spurs now training.

Yes. I can confirm this.

Dave I think you've jinxed it ...

Corlucka deal has fallen through and Coloccini has opted to join Tottenham after they came in with a very late bid which matched ours.

Watch this space.

Closing in on Luisao though and should be abe to land him instead.

SSN blatantly gone there to try and dig up some unsubstantiated mess that can be further used to make Ashley and the club look bad.

Jumped the gun on the no Owen thing though.

Idiots.

all those ITKs who said something would be announced this morning are laughing at everyone this morning, after all the hype they produced.

Hey, at least it was something to talk about.

People tend to take that stuff way too personally.

Would be an excellent move. In fact I wouldn't be upset if we just bought him outright for the £6 million.

 

Tiago is a holding player who is more of a playmaker. Similar in style to a Xavi Alonso or Michael Carrick. Will also score the odd goal.

 

So a line up of this would be better?

 

Jonas      Tiago       Zoggy

 

               Duff

 

Personally, I would go with this

 

------------------Martins----------------

 

Duff--------------Owen----------Jonas

 

----------Tiago-----------Barton-------

 

Warnock---Faye----Coloccini---Beye

 

 

Assuming we sign Tiago and Warnock of course!

 

 

You're forgetting Eto'o man

No I didn't Eto'o is on the bench. Very important that we have some squad depth.

Don't know about everyone else, but I have my doubts that Owen behind Martins will work, I think Viduka was pivotal in the front three we had last year simply to hold it up and bring others into play, I don't think Oba can do that.

I'm thinking Owen will drop a bit deeper more often and Oba will be relied upon more to stretch the oppositions back four. I'm thinking Owen will continue to link things up as he did last season in that 4-2-31 formation I showed there.

I don't think Martins will have to do as much holding up as with that team the emphasis will be on passing and movement and we will do a much better job of maintaining posession and looking for effective through balls. E.g. Man United with Tevez and Rooney last year, neither of whom really hold the ball up as target men.

He's very talented, still not the creative player we need though.

If we can put out a 4-2-3-1 something like the following ...

------------------Martins----------------

Duff--------------Owen----------Jonas

----------Tiago-----------Barton-------

Warnock---Faye----Coloccini---Beye

I think that we would get enough creativity and attacking ability from that lineup.

He not in the team then? Why's he available?

 

Because he's been s*** for them, moved there last Summer from Lyon (I think)

Very strange the way it all worked out at Juventus ...

He was good at Chelsea and very good at Lyon.

Supposedly available at around £7 million, which would be a great price for someone of his experience and ability.

Tiago is a realistic move I reckon.

He's available, he's experienced while still being a good age and he's played in the premiership also.

Smudger is just as lazy but can't score goals!

Boro have made a confirmed bid for Hoyte according to SSN...

Terrible player.

Allows attackers to run at him as he backs off all the way into his 6yd box, before even thinking about entertaining the idea of putting in a challenge.

Clueless defender.

Southgate will be the toast of the town for Arsenal fans tonight.

They've confused the bids.

The bid is for Tiago and not Trezeguet.
